San Francisco 49ers players are gearing up for training camp with rookies scheduled to report in less than a week. Of course, that's if things go as planned.
Starting today, non-essential office workers in Santa Clara Co. are not supposed to come into work. How does this affect the #49ers, who are scheduled to begin training camp in a week? Team, county seeking clarity from the state today. Will update.

Rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is among the 49ers players working hard to be as ready as possible, should teams report as scheduled. Our friends over at @TheSFNiners shared the following video of the first-round pick working on his breaks in a park.

Aiyuk was the second of two first-round picks by the 49ers. San Francisco selected him with the No. 25 overall pick, 11 selections after acquiring defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw. His training camp workload is likely to increase with last year's breakout star, Deebo Samuel, sidelined until at least the start of the regular season with a foot injury.
And this may be my favorite response to the video featuring Aiyuk.
That's nothing, I could cover ... oh ow tore a hammy just watching this ow ow ow
